Alright, some clue analysis:
1. Kitaman's death:
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote:Day 2: A Killing![[image loading]](http://jenniengledow.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/bloody20knife202.jpg) Once upon a time, Kitaman27 had been a member of the Mafia. But, that was a long time ago, or at least that's what Kitaman27 thought to himself as he left the travel agent's office. Of course he still bore the tattoos that marked him as part of the family, but he had given up on that path many years ago. Stepping into an alley further down the street, he reflected about how desperately he wanted to set upon a new course in life, and how, after the recent violence, he was scared he might be visited by some of his old comrades, because of what he knew when he had left them. His thoughts were broken by the sound of sudden rushing footsteps from behind, and he had barely begun to turn when a dark form ran into him and he felt a sharp pain shoot through his back. The pain was redoubled as the knife was violently removed before being plunged in again... and again... and again... before everything went under a red haze of pain and faded to black. Kitaman27 the Vanilla Townie has been found stabbed to death!
Key points:
-kita was stabbed with a knife -reference to tattoos, travel agent -"red haze of pain and faded to black"
The only thing I could find that was relevant to this one is this:
Hassybaby's profile
Note his profile picture is that of Hello Kitty (I think?) holding a knife.
The only other completely vague reference I could see is the travel agent reference, since kita and Hassybaby are continents apart.
No real idea what to make of this other than the fact that his was the only profile in which I found a knife.
Next death:
2. Brownbear
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote: BrownBear struggled between the two men who were holding him on either side. Not that it would have done much good, as his hands were trapped together at the wrists by cable ties and he wore a blindfold, but he still liked to think there was something he could do about his situation.
He had been jumped outside his home that morning, secured, and thrown into the back of a car. After an hour drive, they'd stopped, and he was pulled out of the car and accompanied to his present location. Changing their position now, the one man led him forward as the other violently guided him to his knees.
BrownBear thought to ask them where he was, but froze when he felt the touch of cold metal against his neck. He shivered, and then felt a spreading warmth across his torso, as the razor was quickly pulled across this throat.
BrownBear the Vanilla Townie has had his throat slit!
notes:
-two men -hands trapped by cable ties -blindfolded -violently guided to knees -razor -warm/cold dichotomy
This hit perhaps suggests a double hit, as there are two killers mentioned instead of one. In any other game this would, perhaps, be a coincidence, but this is a clue game. I highly doubt it is here.
The only thing I can make out of this is the blindfold clue. This can refer to two players, that I could find:
Blind-Rawr (blind in the name) and
Hier because of his quote:
TeamLiquid forums: Where punishing a blind expansion is cheese, and skipping one worker is an all-in.
Both of these players are scummy to me, and probably should die regardless of clues within the next couple of days.
3. LSB
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote: BrownBear the Vanilla Townie has had his throat slit!
LSB was oblivious to the pain as his assailant's fists once again drove into his face and he roughly toppled over onto the ground. After the first few minutes of the beating, he had ceased to feel the damage being done to his body as he had descended into something resembling a trance. Crimson blood flowed down his face and arms, and left red marks wherever they dripped on or smeared the pavement which reminded him of the ink blots psychologists used. He knew the thought was sick, and tried to roll over onto his back only to be met by a heavy kick to the ribs. The pounding of blood was loud in his ears, and he was near ignorant of his attacker speaking above him.
"I think it's time this town's learned a lesson, don't you?"
LSB tried to lift his arms in defense, as the man removed a wooden bat from the trunk of his car, but the pain was too much and the most he could do was groan loudly as the club was brought down on his head.
LSB the Miller has been beaten to death!
This one is rather straightforward.
-beating with a bat
The only profile I could find that has a bat in it is: xtfftc's profile
I'm very confident of this one.
Next:
4. Jackal58
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote: Jackal58 turned the volume of the radio down in his car, as he approached the agreed-upon meeting place. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel in time to the rhythm of the song, and looked around nervously for the man he was supposed to meet. The docks were deserted at this time of night, and it didn't take long to spot the car parked near out of sight and the man leaning against it. Pulling up, he turned off his engine and stepped out of his car.
"You said you have an... opportunity for me?"
"Yes, I work for a magazine, you're one of the prosecutors for Liquidia PD, aren't you? Working on the mafia cases? We're very interested in contacting someone from that office, and are willing to pay a good sum to get the scoop on our competitors."
Jackal58 fidgeted a little before responding. He knew that what he was doing was illegal, but he was in debt and needed the money. In the end, it was an easy choice.
"Yes, that's me."
The other man smiled as he pulled out a pistol, "Good, then I know I've got the right rat".
Jackal58 tried to run for his car, but barely made it two steps before he was shot in the back.
Jackal58 the Vanilla Townie has been shot to death!
This one has a dock reference in it; I've highlighted it in blue.
A possible connection is deconduo:
deconduo's profile has a picture of a sea-faring yacht in it, which could potentially explain the reference to the docks in the death of Jackal.
next:
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote: 5. Syllogism
Syllogism was out for his morning run when he stopped to tie his laces. He ran in marathons, and so each day he followed the same routine of waking up in the morning, putting on his tracksuit and going for a half-hour long run through the forest behind his house. Today was no different. Often, the trail he used was completely empty of other people, and so he was surprised when he finished tying his shoes to look up and see a man in a black trench-coat standing off to the side of the trail ahead of him. He was even more surprised when the man lifted a rifle and put two bullets into his chest.
Syllogism the Vigilante has been killed in the woods!
Two things:
Reference to a forest, and a reference to two shots. This again would perhaps suggest that syllo, like Brownbear, was double hit.
There are actually four people who could potentially fit, but I think the top two are zeks and ohN. Based on scumminess it might not be ohN but instead annul, since his profile also contains the words "running" and "forest" (among a shitload of other things) Mattchew is also a possibility, but his profile only contains "forest" and nothing else of note related to this death.
zeks has this quote:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
Two roads, and a wood. The quote talks about "the one less traveled by" and syllo dies in a forest while running on a trail in which he normally sees no one. This is why I am most confident of zeks being the first fit.
The second is ohN because of the picture of the forest.
The third is annul.
If you ctrl-f "forest" you'll find it in Mattchew's profile but I seriously doubt this clue refers to him.
6. Radfield
On November 28 2011 12:29 Mr. Wiggles wrote: Radfield only wanted answers as he looked up at the man circling around him. He wasn't sure what had happened, one moment he was sleeping, the next he was suddenly awake with a hand pressing a cloth into his face, and now he was tied to a chair in his living room. He must have been drugged.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
The other man stopped walking. He was carrying a butcher knife from Radfield's own kitchen.
"You know, I'd really love to tell you, but it's a lot more fun for me when you don't know."
Smiling wickedly, he lifted the knife, and let the point rest on Radfield's chest. Radfield only stared up at his killer, for that is what he assumed he was there for, and did not give him the satisfaction of a reaction. The other man turned his lips into a pout and then grinned again as he slowly pushed the knife into Radfield's heart.
Radfield the Vanilla Townie has been murdered in his home!
I took note of the maniacal nature of the killer in this scenario.
He is portrayed as a little insane, perhaps you could say. He smiles wickedly, taunts his victim, pouts, then grins again.
Kurumi's profile prominently displays a picture of the Joker, and he says himself near the bottom of the profile that he is "insane and Polish" and that it doesn't mix so well.
Conclusions
Nothing is certain, but I am most confident about the clues in reference to LSB's death (the bat pointing to xtfftc), Brownbear's death, Radfield's death, Jackal's death, syllo's death, and kita's death in order of most confident to least confident.
If anyone has alternate interpretations or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

I want to preface this by apologizing for my absence from the thread. I had a lot of traveling to do on the holiday week and wasn't able to keep up. I have every intention of being an active player, but I still have like 90 pages to read and a lot of post histories to delve into.
That said, I have a few comments to make after my brief skimming of the most recent pages.
I'm not liking all this chatter on power roles, influencing power roles, and all that other nonsense. That kind of fuckery only distracts from The Real Game (reading posts -> finding scum -> lynching them) and allows scum to hide without lurking. It's just bad and needs to stop.
At a glance I'm not liking our mayor tbh. Not gonna put my foot down, yet to fully read his post history.
As for double lynching, this is the time in the game to do it. As the days progress we can make more precise, informed single lynches.
Again, sorry for my absence. I'm going to really dig through post histories and hopefully have a good case for this game day.

I did not expect it to. I am not trying to convince you because I will not succeed. If you were actually trying to scumhunt, you would realize by now that I am town. I am trying to convince everyone else in town.
Your latest argument that I somehow triggered your trap by not saying the same things as wherebugsgo about the YM lynch is such a stretch. I wonder what you would have said had our replies been identical? Would that have changed your opinion?

okay, definitely agree with xtfftc. remember i strongly FOSed him in night 1. makes sense to have a clue right at him.
vote #1 is for xtfftc.
vote #2 should think about in a bit.
also, if BC jailed ace, it could be the missing KP is on ace.

i want to instavote WBG but we should do this if we cant come to a more firm decision re: clues. "the forest" is not that hardcore confirming him based on the clue alone.
|
hm. the robert frost quote in zeks profile is extremely, extremely fitting.
i think these are the two obvious clue kills for the day.
##vote: xtfftc ##vote: zeks
|
(this is funny if true, because it means WBG just bussed two teammates. or WBG is somehow not red; less likely.)
also i guess im the only one awake now ;\
|
hey also something to think about
there were two death scenes with two people in them. redff may be mafia and claimed vet to account for one of the lost kp. he can do this knowing that he can argue (correctly) that he is going to be alive from now on because mafia wont be wasting kp on what they now know to be equal to a green, but instead, trying to find actual harmful blue players.

and as long as palmar keeps popping the double lynches, may as well keep him alive. maybe he will be redeemed by a DT by the time the double lynches run out, who knows

There's his triple vote though, might as well lynch him and the double lynches pass to BC that we can coerce into complying just as well.

Ace, why should the bodyguards claim if Palmar gets lynched? I agree on the lynching Palmar bit but don't understand how are we going to benefit from them claiming.
tnkted, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=285690¤tpage=105#2094
Serejai, you used to push for lynching Supersoft, now you're pushing for intrigue. What changed?
Palmar,

Ace, I'll have your decon analysis tomorrow, as well as a wherebugsgo analysis. That second one might take awhile, hes got like a fourth of the posts in this thread Q_Q
Anyway bedtime I have class in eight hours The important players are the good ones, not the blues. There's also no reason for mafia to start offing the bodyguards, considering that the mayor is one of them. The night was pretty bad for for us.

Palmar's profile is rather long. Let's wait and see the actual screenshots; I don't expect it to have the Killing Joke part in it.
The other man smiled as he pulled out a pistol, "Good, then I know I've got the right rat".
Jackal's death description indicates that a vigilante shot him? He's a decent player who made some bad calls, so it sounds plausible.

Oh god clues, I guess we instantly lose now. Hi Ace.
Even though most of the kills were vets, with 16 mafia, if it only takes one regular to convince the others who is good. I kinda missed the deconduo bandwagon here as well, I just saw him at the top of lists, so i assumed he either had a rough start or was actual scum. Seems like all he did was disagree with Palmar/WBG, and that usually lands you on Palmar/WBG's scum list. Something tells me you need to work on what is constructive criticism and what is scum provoked reasoning. Deconduo does not look scummy at all. Please don't use a lynch using essentially the same exact reasoning as you did with YM.
Lynching a mayor who activates double lynch also seems dumb as fuck, we need the double lynches, to actually not straight up lose. Whatever argument you have for palmar's alignment, he activated double lynch, and if he keeps doing that, we can't afford to kill. I know palmar is a proud dude, but if I was a scum mayor, it would be an easy choice for me to just blow off the double and get lynched immediately. I don't see how you wouldn't do this as scum.
That said, lynch kenpachi/supersoft for a better tomorrow. Or you can use that neat lukerbane thing and let me sleep at night, knowing kenpachi is rolling in a grave. Supersoft is not town, I am sure of this.

If we take into account the clue which links xtfftc to the murder of LSB, he mentioned trying to 'save' LSB from being killed during the night:

I am posting this list with complete disregard of their alignment. But if you want to protect someone, you should read the filters for these players ( Link to all filters ) And deduce which ones are town and which ones are scum. These people are all worth protecting if they're town. + LSB and bumatlarge Erandorr and tnkted are also decent. And if WBG is on the list, Supersoft should be there as well.
LSB was his first choice, so it could be that he targeted him. The clue does make a strong point against him, even if his weapon is just a 'baton', it's a strong resemblance.
On November 28 2011 17:54 xtfftc wrote: The weapon used on LSB was "a wooden bat", mine is a police batton, which is made out of plastic and rubber and metal.
Now theres zeks who also has a strong clue upon him for the murder of syllo.
zeks profile: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
kill scene: Often, the trail he used was completely empty of other people, and so he was surprised when he finished tying his shoes to look up and see a man in a black trench-coat standing off to the side of the trail ahead of him.
Assuming sandroba is a townie, he has had his suspicions on zeks for a while. He asked palmar twice about what he thought about zeks but he never got a reply. zeks was also against palmar at the beginning but then changed his mind later on and voted palmar into office just because of the 'DT' plan even though he was against his LAL policy.
